Somatic therapy, sexology and reiki for those ready to reconnect with their body, heal from trauma and reclaim pleasure.

Available in Lisbon and online.

book a discovery call

When the books, the talk therapy, the retreats didn’t touch it—
your body kept whispering:
there’s more.

This is where we go. Into the bone marrow. Into the places your mind can’t script. Into the wild intelligence of your body, who has been waiting for you all along. This is body-based healing for those ready to stop thinking their way through pain…and start listening instead.

Intuitive healing practitioner offering trauma-informed somatic therapy in Lisbon

Hi I’m Amanda.

CERTIFIED SOMATIC PRACTITIONER AND SEXOLOGIST.
SEXOLOGICAL BODYWORKER IN TRAINING.

I work in Lisbon and online, guiding bodies back into their own currents of aliveness.
My work lives at the intersection of body, psyche, eros, and spirit — where trauma, pleasure, and transformation meet.

Like many, I spent years looking for healing in books and endless self-analysis, only to discover that true change required something deeper: embodiment. Learning to trust the wisdom of sensation itself became the turning point.

That path led me to train in somatic therapy, sexology, bodywork, energy medicine, and trauma-informed care — all of which now shape my multidisciplinary approach.

My practice is simple in essence: to help you feel what your body has been holding.
The stress. The grief. The hunger. The desire. The quiet wisdom that waits beneath the surface.

I don’t believe wellness or pleasure are luxuries. They are central to a meaningful life.

This work is for the ones who are tired of thinking their way through healing.
For the ones who ache to trust their body again,
to soften into intimacy,
to remember the language of desire, safety and presence.

Every session is guided by consent, by your rhythm, by your truth.
I will never push your body where she does not want to go.
Instead, I meet you where you are— and from there, together, we listen.

This is not about arriving somewhere.
This is about listening.
It’s about letting your body speak in her own language—without forcing her into right or wrong, success or failure, broken or whole.

There are no boxes here.
Only the unfolding of what’s true for you, in this moment.

Somatic Therapy

Each 1:1 session is intuitive, collaborative, and guided by your body’s pace. We begin with conversation, then explore how patterns live in your body — through sensation, breath, and awareness. As you learn to feel these patterns in real time, space opens for new choices, deeper self-trust, and embodied healing.

  • Through these sessions, you may experience:

    • Release tension and survival patterns from the body

    • Restore breath, presence, and vitality

    • Rebuild trust with your own nervous system

    • Access emotions stored beneath numbness or armor

    • Root into boundaries that feel embodied and alive

    • Live in integrity with your body’s truth

    • Reclaim agency over your choices, your pace, your pleasure

    • Feel more grounded, resilient, and alive in daily life

    This space offers compassionate witnessing, allowing your healing process to unfold naturally.​

  • These sessions are for you if:

    • You’ve tried talk therapy but still feel stuck

    • You live in stress, hypervigilance, or collapse

    • You crave intimacy with your own body

    • You sense something deeper calling but don’t know how to reach it

  • Each 1:1 session is intuitive, collaborative, and tailored to your needs. We may explore:

    • We begin with conversation, naming what you’d like support with.

    • Instead of only talking about patterns, we notice how they live in the body.

    • Together, we track sensations—tightness, bracing, numbness, trembling—where the root of old patterns reside.

    • Through gentle practices (breath, movement, awareness), you learn to feel these patterns in real time.

    • As your body becomes familiar with these signals, you begin to recognize them in daily life.

    • This opens space for new choices—where once there was only repetition or shame.

    • Sessions are collaborative, consent-led, and paced to your body’s readiness.

    • Space to process emotions in a supportive, non-judgmental container

    You’re always in charge of the pace. Consent, co-regulation, and emotional safety are central to everything I do.

  • Sessions can be held in person in Lisbon or online via Zoom.

Somatic Sexology

Eros is not just sex. Eros is the pulse of life itself— the raw current that wants to move through you, to create, to connect, to expand. When we listen to the erotic body, we reclaim what was buried under shame, numbness, or fear.

  • Themes we could explore:

    • Reconnect with pleasure, desire, and erotic vitality

    • Release shame, numbness, or disconnection from your body

    • Explore intimacy, kinks, or new dynamics with safety and curiosity

    • Restore confidence, embodiment, and self-compassion in your sexuality

    • Deepen relationship with your body, partners, and erotic truth

  • These sessions may be for you if you:

    • Feel a longing to reclaim your sensual aliveness
      Are healing from sexual trauma or shame

    • Experience loss of libido, numbness, or hypersensitivity

    • Desire support around intimacy, communication, or boundaries

    • Want a safe, playful, judgment-free space to explore your erotic self

  • Each session is a co-creation—sometimes gentle, sometimes playful, always guided by your body’s wisdom.


    We may weave:

    • Somatic bodywork & trauma-informed touch

    • Erotic education & intimacy coaching

    • Practices for boundaries, communication, and pleasure

    • Space to explore desire, fantasy, and self-expression

    No two sessions are alike; your body sets the pace.

  • Sessions are 90 minutes and can be held in person in Lisbon or online via Zoom.

  • Caro H, Brussels

    Amanda carries a kind of presence that sees into your soul, not with intrusion but with invitation. During our practice, she offered words of appreciation that touched something so tender in me… something I didn’t even know was longing to be seen. I felt deeply understood and so loved, exactly as I am. Her laughter, her honesty, her willingness to be raw & real… it created a sacred kind of mirror. Human to human. Soul to soul. The container we co-created felt like a living thing, a shared heart-space filled with truth, tenderness, and so much awe. Her loving words are painted on the walls of my heart’s chambers.

  • Len R, Warsaw

    Amanda has an amazing intuition that allows her to softly nudge you towards self-exploration that feels both nourishing and grounded. Her inquiries and questions hit the nail on the head - without ever feeling too much or intrusive. As a person who slowly opens up to new people - I deeply appreciated her personally adjusted sessions and discovered heart-warming insights that will stay with me for a long time.

  • Fiona W, Ericeira

    I felt so safe and powerful. There was an immediate sense of connection, I felt seen and accepted from the start. Her energy is soothing and non-judgemental, grounded in honesty and presence. I dropped into my body with ease, held in her authentic and calming space. A perfect balance between softness, care and directness/professionalism. Trying and just going for it feels very easy with her. Thanks so much!

  • Alice W, Barcelona

    I want to marinate in Amanda’s words. Her ability to guide embodiment practices is so poetic evocative and really allowed me to drop deep into my body. I went on a journey with her during our coaching that left me feeling uplifted and seen.

  • Maria G, Lisbon

    Amanda made me feel welcomed, safe, and understood, her expertise, compassion, and support have been instrumental to my healing journey, her ability in creating a space free from judgment allowed me to explore difficult topics and gain new insights about myself. Highly recommend Amanda to anyone seeking support, guidance, and transformation.

  • Jennifer, Lisbon

    A lovely first experience of Reiki. I didn’t fully know what to expect, but I felt very safe and secure throughout my session and was guided and talked through each step. I’m sure it’s different for everyone, but I found it both a grounding and emotional session.

  • Sabrina M, Crete

    I came into my session with Amanda with a deep amount of heartache from an event in my life, and grief. Right before our session I also had experienced something that triggered fear. I came into our session then with grief and fear, and feeling physically tight at my root with it. Amanda supported me through a body-focusing session in which I was able to journey into that grief and fear. At no point did I feel her flinch with any kind of fear or judgement or rescuing — she just held an attuned, deep space for this story in my body to release. The depth of my grief scared me. It was an edge to feel and took me to unexpected visions and places, which Amanda helped me explore deeper and stay present with. This impromptu ceremony of a session was crucial in my overall grief process. I woke up the following morning not once more hit by the wave of the grief I was processing like I might expect, but it felt like something had distinctly cleared. I am grateful to Amanda for creating an exquisitely safe and vast space for me to process a depth of emotion I had never let myself feel quite all the way like that. It was profound and transcendent and truly a gift.

  • Jenn M.

    Working with Amanda has been nothing short of life-changing. Her presence is grounding, compassionate, and deeply intuitive. From the very first call I felt seen—not just on a surface level, but in all layers of my body and being. A way to connect what I now notice was disconnected. Through her skilled guidance, I’ve released tension and emotional patterns I didn’t even realize I was carrying. The somatic work goes beyond words—it’s a gentle unraveling that leads to clarity, peace, and a profound reconnection with yourself. A welcomed return to my body, I walk away lighter, more integrated and regulated every time. I am beyond grateful to be healing all thanks to Amanda and her amazing work.

The Realms We Explore:

  • Enter the body where silence once lived. Here, safety is rebuilt not as theory but as sensation—cell by trembling cell.

  • Meeting the places that shut down desire, sensation, or voice. Not to force them open—but to listen until they soften on their own.

  • Guiding the flood of overwhelm back into flow, where your breath can move like water again.

  • Gathering the lost fragments of self, calling your spirit back into your bones after seasons of exile.

  • Holding the grief, the unspoken truths, the places love never landed—and letting them ripen into deeper presence.

  • Coaxing aliveness through the senses, letting the body remember her own language of delight and devotion.

  • Meeting eros not as danger, not as taboo, but as the holy current that longs to create, connect, and expand.

  • Growing confidence, compassion, and clarity in the body—so your yes and your no come from marrow-deep truth.
